You can’t please all of the people all of the time, but you sure can try!
Tawny Peaks is one of the greatest SCORE Girls ever…depending upon who you ask.
When you pick up a copy of SCORE (or browse the on-line version at SCORELAND), do you expect to like every single pictorial? And if you don’t like every single pictorial, will you swear to never buy another issue or subscribe for another month?
I’m praying that your answer to both questions is “No.” Because if it’s not, I’m in trouble.
Back when I was a magazine buyer (as opposed to the editor of SCORE), I was willing to fork over my money for a mag if there was just one pictorial that I knew would get me off over and over again. Back then, I figured five or six dollars was a small price to pay for a half-dozen or more quality jacks. And if an issue had three or four pictorials that got me off, it was a keeper. An all-time great.
Because let’s face it: Even though we’re all big-boob lovers here, we all have different tastes in boobs, girls, bodies, etc. And the odds of every single reader/member being satisfied with every single pictorial in a particular issue are…well, I probably have a better shot at hitting the lottery. The big one.
I started buying SCORE and Voluptuous sight unseen because I could depend on every single issue having at least two, three or more girls who wouldn’t get me down. And that was enough. I mean, even back then, I knew that SCORE wasn’t my own, personal magazine. It wasn’t published just for me, a focus group of one.
And now that I’m the editor of SCORE, I can’t put a girl in the mag just because I like her. I have to be pretty certain that a lot of readers will like her, too. Not every reader. A lot of them. But I know that satisfying everybody with every pictorial will be impossible.
Ashley Sage Ellison always seems to be at the center of controversy. I'd rather stare at her tits than argue.
One day, I got this letter from B.P. of Toronto, Ontario: “I was a little disappointed in the girls you selected for the bikini pictorial in the August issue. They were all in the huge, super-breasted category. To me, what makes a great bikini girl is not just the way her tits look but also her legs, waist and overall physique. I agree with your choice of Tiffany Towers, but Tawny Peaks? C’mon! She has big tits, but there are SCORE Girls with smaller tits who look better in a bikini.”
But then, the next day, I got this via email: “Re: bikini contest. Although they are all extremely hot I have to vote for Tawny Peaks. She defines a sexy woman.”
So, one guy doesn’t think Tawny Peaks shouldn’t be anywhere near a bikini contest, and the next guy thinks she’s the definition of a SCORE bikini girl.
One guy thinks Ashley Sage Ellison is perfect. The next guy threatens to cancel his subscription if we ever run another photo of Ashley.
And then, when we run another photo of Ashley, and the second guy accuses us of not listening to the readers.
Some readers want us to reject any model who won’t fuck, no matter how stacked she is. Other readers don’t want to see any cock in the magazine. How can you please both? You can’t. It’s impossible.
I could stop running pictures of Minka in SCORE. But then I'd have to go looking for a new job.
Here’s an excerpt from a letter I ran in the January 2011 issue of SCORE. It’s from Ed of Iowa: “I love naturals: naturally busty and naturally beautiful (as opposed to skinny girls smuggling basketballs). There is definitely nothing wrong with beauties such as Ashley Sage Ellison, Karina Hart or Christy Marks in either magazine. It’s when you feature models like Minka, Lexxi Tyler or Danielle Derek that I have no interest in. Wasted pages that could have decent photo layouts.”
Do you see that? He’s criticizing Minka, one of the most-requested models of all-time! If I go three issues without putting Minka in SCORE, I’m sure to get the “Where’s Minka?” letters and emails.
But then there was this recent Blog comment from J.P. regarding my posting, “Five (and many more) very good reasons the breast of times is now.” “Sorry, Dave, but I totally disagree. Although Miosotis is my favorite of the bunch (and I think Christy Marks is totally overrated), I don’t think any single one of these girls holds a candle to the slim and stacked girls of the 90s. It has nothing to do with nostalgia. SCORE is about HUGE BOOBS, real or enhanced. Enhanced ones are just as good in my opinion.”
Anyway, the purpose of this posting is to 1.) Let you know how we go about doing things and 2.) Let you know that we are listening. We’re always listening. But listening and doing exactly what every reader says are two completely different things. The former is something we do every day. The latter is impossible. Fortunately, keeping every reader and member satisfied isn’t impossible. It’s a matter of getting the recipe right. Using the proper ingredients. And that’s both the challenge and the fun part.
So you keep letting us know what you want. And we’ll keep on sorting this whole thing out…even if, sometimes, it’s enough to drive an editor crazy!

A little off topic and I am sure that you have answered the question before, but when are we going to see ALL of Ashley. Yes, we have seen her with out clothes on, but never gotten to see ALL of the good parts.
Brad: Ya never know!
Its all about boobs. I prefer real,but big fakes are better than small real ones. And I’ll always love minka.
HI Dave,
I agree with Tom, no complaints and much praise here also.
You all do a great job and I also appreciate your customer focus and listenting to readers .. just shows what a wide variety of tastes in bog boobs there are out there.
Great comments about the early days of magazines – usually 1 great layout per magazine for $6 was the norm. With the early issues of Score, there were ususally 3 or 4 amazing pictorials per issue which made Score great and always a keeper. Now, online viewers have their pick of all models.
So keep the variety, the new mdoels and the old favourites, natural and enhanced, buxom and slender, short, tall we luv them all !
Hang in there and try not to go too crazy 🙂
i’m so tired of minka. those big fake tits just don’t do it for me. i’m sure alot of others feel the same way. plus, if you are gonna feature her, shouldn’t it be in 50+ magazine?
No complaints and much praise. You all do a great job and I for one appreciate your customer focus and that you let us provide feedback on what we like. It is obvious to me how different all of your readers opinions are. I try to let you know when you really hit it out of the park and stay silent when you strike out. When you get it right, it is explosive. I have to agree with my boy Sean there that you can’t go wrong with Alix Lakehurst. She really brings out the best in you and she is so hot she makes my tongue hard. Keep up the good work and thanks for listening.
dave do you know what would easily please me finally seeing the video of the amazing kelly Christiansen. As its october now when might this be? I’ve lost count the amont of times I’ve watched the blog of u getting her to get those 36H cup boobies out!
Sean: You’re going to have to wait for more info on the SCOREtv movie; it’s still in production. As for Arianna, there’s more hardcore to come on BustyArianna.com.–Dave
Dave we dont want the best editor at the greatest magazine in the world going crazy LOL, but how about alot more Alix Lakehurst and some info on the new movie based around Score TV. Amost forgot are we gonna see Arianna Sinn alot more on scoreland doing hardcore wow she was fanatastic on her site in her first hardcore flix.
My only complaint is that there are far too few pics of Ashley Sage Ellison out there! No new ones, as far as I know. Either you release every pic you got on her, or you release her from her contract (which I’m sure you’ve got with her).
We need more Ashley Sage Ellison, more Ashley Sage Ellison, more Ashley Sage Ellison… I think you get my pint, huh? 🙂
